Features

  • Spiral cutterhead utilizes 26 staggered and rotatable HSS blades for a clean, smooth finish

  • Plane boards up to 6 inches thick and 13 inches wide
  • 15A motor generates 10,000 RPM at a 26 feet per minute feed rate

Description

Remember when you brought those old jagged boards back to life? The WEN 13-Inch Benchtop Thickness Planer repurposes rough and worn wood to give it an exceptionally smooth finish. Our spiral cutterhead utilizes 26 staggered HSS blades to provide a perfect finish to hard and soft woods alike. The powerful 15-amp motor rotates the cutterhead over 10,000 RPM at a 26 feet per minute feed rate. Plane boards up to 13 inches wide and 6 inches thick with ease. The onboard planing gauge helps inform users about the amount of material being removed during each pass. Combine that with the heavy duty cast iron base for a sturdy planer that does not walk or wobble during operation. The handy depth adjustment knob makes it easy to take off anywhere from 0 to 1/8 of an inch per pass. The adjustable dust port removes chips and sawdust from the workpiece and blasts them out of the way. The onboard depth stop allows users to achieve an exact workpiece thickness with maximum precision. This package also includes height-adjustable infeed and outfeed tables to limit snipe while providing extra support to your workpiece during planing. Easily mount the planer to a work surface or stand (such as the WEN MSA658 Planer Stand) using the predrilled base holes. Compatible with the WEN BP510H Replacement Spiral Blades. And because it’s a WEN product, this planer comes backed by a nationwide network of skilled service technicians. Remember when your planer could handle even the hardest of woods? Remember WEN.

  • Great tool!
Style: One Speed Pattern Name: 13-Inch Spiral Blade Planer
My wife and I recently bought a CNC woodworking router and have started a part time business with it. We bought a lot of pine slab wood from an Amish saw mill and were using a heavy duty sander to finish the boards. This planer has made that job SO much easier. It leaves very little effort and leaves the wood very smooth so it takes very little finish sanding. You do get snipe near both ends of the wood, so either have to leave the boards long enough to cut the snipe off or use scrap boards of the same thickness in front and behind so the snipe is left on those boards. The directions say you can adjust the feed trays to stop this but I haven't really tried that. There is also a lot of sawdust scrap, so it really must be hooked up to a shop vac, which works very well. This planer is a little wider than a lot of them and even though 13 inches is kind of limiting, wider planers are MUCH more expensive. We've used it quite a bit over the last few months and it's still going as strong as when we got it without having to change blades yet. Very happy with it. ... show more

  • Good thickness planer at a good price
Style: Two-Speed Pattern Name: TOOLS
I recently purchased my first products from Wen. I was initially concerned about quality and functionality, when compared to brands that I consider premium…like Dewalt or Makita. No more. This is a very good thickness planer that includes some premium features like input & output tray extensions, a spiral cutting head and decent dust collection port. I was similarly impressed with my recent purchase of a Wen drill press. Seems like Wen is a serious provider of affordable and quality tools! ... show more

  • a really great machine
Style: One Speed Pattern Name: 13-Inch Spiral Blade Planer
In my job experiences there were many opportunities to run commercial planers and they were work horses and so is this one! It is smaller but with the spiral cutter head it will plane wood and hardly slow down! There was some Ipe wood left over from another job this wood is Brazil hardwood and so hard you can't drive a nail in it! At taking off 1/32 at a time it never slowed down and came out smooth as glass! it had a little snipe until the infeed and outfeed tables were adjusted up a taste and now no snipe! The tricks to keeping a great planer is be patient and take real small bites, clean dirty boards with a wire brush,vacuum it out after each use and do maintenance according to the manual and it will last a long time!The evac system works great with a shop vac also! There was a lot of shopping done before this one was chosen and turns out you get a lot for the money! Am very happy ! Go ahead pull the trigger on it you want be sorry! ... show more

  • Nice Planer
Style: One Speed Pattern Name: 13-Inch Spiral Blade Planer
Nice planer, gives smooth cuts. It showed up on time with no shipping damage. I'm giving it only four stars because of the snipe, I worked on both the infeed and outfeed tables, just can't get rid of it but was able to lessen it, I'll work on it more when I have time. Overall seems to be a nice machine, plenty good for my home hobby shop. I would recommend this machine, good machine for a good price. ... show more

  • WEN Spiral Cutter Head Bench Planer Great Choice!!
Style: One Speed Pattern Name: 13-Inch Spiral Blade Planer
I have a fairly well equipped shop with most all stationary, bench and power tools for a homeowner. I am pretty picky about the tools I buy balancing quality with cost. I had never had a WEN product before until I bought their 12 inch variable speed drill press last year. I was hesitant because the cost was low but it had all the features I wanted. What an awesome machine. It exceeded my expectations. So when it came time to buy a planer I thought I would give WEN a try again. I compared all the brands. Everyone raves about DeWalt all the time. I'm sure its a great machine, but I was thinking 'do I really need that for the cost?'. The WEN is very well built. Most all reviews for a WEN planer are for the straight blade version but I bought the spiral cutter head for a little extra cost. It cuts extremely clean, is fairly quiet for a planer and easy to use. Although I work in my shop all the time, I haven't used a planer since shop class in high school almost 40 years ago. When I first got it I wasn't sure how everything operated. After a couple passes it was as easy as pie. Even let the wife do a couple passes and she loved it too. Great results and highly recommended. ... show more

  • Works Well
Style: One Speed Pattern Name: 13-Inch Spiral Blade Planer
This Wen planer is my first experience with a feed through planer. Since smooth cedar boards are expensive and I wanted to build a horizontal cedar fence the overall cost would have been prohibitive. Buying rough cut cedar is an order of magnitude less expensive than the smooth variety so I took a flyer on using a planer. Wow, I’m glad I did. Operation is straight forward and after a few test pieces I began planing the 4x4 cedar posts and a quantity of 6”x1”x96” boards. The high speed steel cutter blades lasted for about 10 or so boards (planed both sides), rotated them and did 10 more. Then I replaced the cutters (easy but takes time) with carbide blades and went on my way. I like how the necessary tools are attached right to the machine. Operation of the Wen planer is straight forward and self explanatory so even a newbie can start putting out good results. I also purchased two roller stands and spent some time making sure the boards went through straight, level and true. Result was no snipe which surprised me since many YT videos are how to prevent snipe. Setting up measurement and adjustment is straight forward and little effort. About 1/16” is most I would remove at one time and this worked out well for me. I also purchased the Wen planer stand which gives a solid base for the planer. As the photo shows the results were satisfying with only one pass. What was a collection of rough cut cedar boards and posts became a really attractive set of lumber that looks great. Well worth the money, even for this one project, and I recommend this planer. There will be more projects now that I see how great the results were. Now to get as excited to dig the post holes. ... show more
